Description
ESSAY: ARCHITECT AND PAINTER JEF7REY HILDNER (aka Madison Gray) takes another look at the connections between Synthetic Cubism and architecture, throwing more light on two core concepts: 1. Synthetic Cubist paintings reveal an architectural world: a world of plans and sections, walls and windows, dwellings and landscapes; 2. Synthetic Cubist paintings conceal a principle at work: form as space-definer versus space-occupier.
